Cooperative education

In physical education there is a wide variety of students. There are the student athletes, student’s who have a moderate level of physical activity, student’s who may be self-conscious, student’s who are overweight, student’s that just don’t care about physical education or school at all. Educators have to find a way to for these students to interact and feel like physical education class is a class where everyone can succeed. The Cooperative Learning Model was designed to do just that. This model

reinforced my learnings and challenged me to truly think like a Special Education Teacher. With each new topic that we studied in class the more relevant the material became in terms of my observations; this had a direct effect on my understanding of my student’s strengths and weaknesses and of the evidence-based practices, accommodations, and modifications that were implemented for him. In my opinion, East School and its Special Education department are top notch. The student I observed, A, was given all

My Personal Philosophy of Education "Some people make things happen, some watch while things happen, and some wonder ‘what happened?’ Which type of person are you?" author unknown. There have been times in my life in which I have sat back and watched things happen. I often wondered why they happened. I now realize that it is important to be a leader. Effective teachers need to take charge and make things happen. I am becoming a teacher to make things happen and not sit back and let them

learn to be a better version of themselves by the time they leave my classroom. I believe successful teachers develop a strong partnership with students’ parents. Having clear communication with parents can play a significant role in a child’s education. It is also the best way to avoid misunderstandings from the beginning of

Diversity is when individuals differ in race, ethnicity, gender, class, language, religion, ability, geography, and/or age. Teachers will be required to teach in diverse classrooms with a variety of inclusion students, gender, and cultures. Each and every person learns differently and at different rates. According to Culyer and Ebert (2008), “There is no age which all people are on the same intellectual level either at a starting point or as a level of attainment. Thus, you can expect that all

My personal philosophy of education as a teacher is to have the kind of elementary classroom in which students feel safe, welcome, curious, and happy. This can be done by implementing some of the techniques found in Teach Like A Champion by Doug Lemov. Some of the techniques that I plan on implementing are the techniques of: stretch it, format matters, and warm/strict. One way in which I would make my students feel safe is by implementing some of the ideas found in Is everyone really equal? by Ӧzlem

because other students would give me looks that made me feel uncomfortable to  speaking up if I needed help. I later than realized I shouldn’t care what people say to me or how they would look at me because I know what matters most and that is my education. I remember times when my sister would walk into the room and ask me to play school with her.  As she would walk in I would set a pillow down for her to use as a desk and she sat in front of it. “Kassidy” I called out. “Here!” she responded with

interaction has an impact on development in early childhood. Behavioral Learning Theory is one of many learning theories designed to create an effective academic centered classroom. By having an effective classroom management in place, one can ensure a cooperative learning environment. It is important as educators to have order in their classroom. God’s Word is detailed when it talks about His perfect order. “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may

The future of our country relies heavily on the successes of our children. With a rise in global competition and a downturn in the economy, it is now more important than ever for the youth of our country to receive the best education possible. As the Obama administration prepares to revamp the No Child Left Behind initiative, much attention is being given to the challenges and successes of charter schools. A charter school is defined as a school that operates independently from the local school

reasons for this broad range of inequality in our education system? The answer is; yes, this is the case, and it can be proven statistically. There are two definitive reasons why. First is the inflated cost of education in America. Secondly is the inability of poor families to acquire the substantial financial capital that is required to pay for a quality education for their children. Both of these conclusions can be supported with a cost analysis of education in America, as well as, the differences per
